Katatonia
Album • 2013
In the weak light I saw you becoming the lie Taking it all for granted Like freedom It's something you'll never have Forget what's said And hear me sing to you How I've set out to kill my soul The nightward ways The labour it brings The verdict that I came for Migration's song Patterns of death overwhelms Fixation rise I came along the way And came to a conclusion The indifferent sky Is made of lead and so beautiful Submission Come you will The parting End origin Fade into earth Times ablaze Under the flags we chose Denied my step and froze my heart Yet I stare With nothing left to do The verdict that I came for Migration's song Take your well deserved step Into darkness I'll become your eyes You have no other We have to walk along the wire Trust the one that never trusted you

This breaking vow Rest so near my tongue Anchor of the cloud Shade upon the sun You took my word for it The vanishing of doubt Will unfold my empty space Your time froze over I must lead the way for this conclusion I let you inherit these words I sing to you See how death will bestow seclusion The one you are looking for is hidden from view In my absence now Irrelevant time will pass In nothingness abide See the evening rise And take my word for it Focus is beyond your vision Do you remember when It didn’t use to be so dark When everything was possible Still

You will never rest Until the stars burn out My day is done I love the sound of no one coming by Tomb beneath the trees The name unsung The darkness in the cracks I am not what you have waited for Trust Nothing is enough This hunting ground I need the freedom to control my own I need the sound of rain Wearing dependence down The line must be kept so thin To live near life Not within No need to take the rest Before the dark must shine Reflect my eyes And strip this creation of mine Tomorrow is so long The dead end king is here Black wings upon his back

White sun Spring of wealth Come for a good time It's not what I have Vibrate Life on the line My racing heart Your vacant mind If I sow a wind now I will reap a storm You saw me sliding away from the sun And tomorrow Who will come And put their hand over mine Mine with the burning shape of a gun Washed out Soul of money Couldn't keep the fire It's not what I do Vibrate Life on the line My racing heart It's all I find Inside the sickness Rest

Think Of the days when I had too much Of the things we found Resistance died down Fell on frozen soil Bleed a little for a different day Going deeper to come away On the concrete sky I saw the buildings rise But keep our lights in shadow still In the wind's eye Where our reflection dies Glass shrines of muted will Dead Is the time that I See from here on out This burial ground One more down And buildings recoil On the concrete sky I saw the buildings rise But keep our lights in shadow still In the wind's eye Where our reflection dies Glass shrines of muted will On the concrete sky I saw the buildings rise But keep our lights in shadow still

So solitary You have been Your time starts to fade Distorted sky And you find me Revolve inside My blood is yours too That's what you say It couldn't be further from the truth I find The soul in medication All my loving has turned and washed away You took my mind's eye You bring it wherever you go How could you take away The burning I had My rage Static The closing line Whatever you say It's my heart you leech You crushed the edge of symmetry Insignificant You are still But my words in your mouth Lingering Spilling over I see You don't want liberation You keep belonging to what's not even here
Hear my thin voice Hear my words fall down See my ambitions fade out Had so much better time At night Walking on the tracks Change my perspective Idle hands With wounds and cracks Stale Ineffective But past the veil The memories of things Still so in love with you So dense this strife Kick the life I feel this weight upon my heart Indecision Sow the seed Aspiration is never within reach At night there is no other view Sing a song for the ones who never made it In the word Under yellow lights Under linden trees I am Transparent And led to believe That things would change if I go away The lowering sky under which we go Constant noise Behind the overcoming I had no choice but to rearrange The scar is open I am not allowed to understand I take it as you’re not coming back

At life’s four-way stop The tinges in your shadow drop Fate pulls you down for the count With broken promises to amount Time seal our ways To the heart of our hiding place When all our lifelines have been crossed Some scars can never heal from what we lost To fail the test and depart the strong Is to light the way where you have gone For only our funerals to come A requiem in death, a song And it seems to be That consistency is not what lingers ahead But a virtue of the dead One of these days Hours pass but the night stays When your spirit won’t turn anew The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo you Breathing lifeless We are not afraid to die Breathe in life’s less You’re not afraid to live
How long Is the pattern going to speak for you How far can your voice reach Your song below the night From my view I can see you Shudder where you are standing In the vision Cyan blue Now October This time you won't be needing me To run along the freeway To weigh one's heart against the oncoming dark You left me with the pills We had plans but you couldn't make it Through the trees What took you so long The high grass What took you so long Translate the fire The venom's rush inside your heart How long can winter Colour your every word And the skyline Past the houses and the cities Hyperopia Carmine red Now This river This time I will

In the prayer Can't seem to find the right words But we stretch our dead arms For salvation The foundation And the chemical need Discordance put a veil Over my creed So sweet my fever now Embraced by its tainted wings Cup my hands and taste the spite Immune to the truths you told In the wake Reverence in my every move The wretched stars aligned For dead wisdom The apparition Rise with my every breath Grasping for the one Who lie beneath You leave now Leave my void of prayers Take these words to go with you Take the splinters See them fall Idle stare Who will come forth from the dry wind And find my blood And clothes and rust Cleaned the past Like water through stone Earth did cast a shade Over my sleep

Dim my lights Time is frail You shut my mind But oh well Trapped and choked Erased my trail Split the chest My heart couldn't feel more pale Only once could I see clear Vexation Internal void My dreams are getting darker and darker And darker This life before me Its blood runs so still The call of the bird The song that makes the hours go The change inactive Dead letters Form these words Dim my lights One by one The sordid pale Broken run Confined in escape On burnt grass Below the crest Lier in wait for the ending Songs that make the hours go
